Osasuna lose appeal over Barcelona fielding Martinez
- Osasuna's appeal to the RFEF concerning Barcelona fielding Inigo Martinez in a LaLiga match was dismissed.
- Osasuna believed Barcelona violated FIFA regulations by fielding Martinez after he withdrew injured from Spain's national team.
- Martinez played a full match for Barcelona on March 27, four days after withdrawing due to a swollen knee.
- Osasuna cited Article 5, stating a player leaving for medical reasons cannot play for five days, but the RFEF disagreed.
- The RFEF, in dismissing the appeal, implied they did not intend to apply the prohibitive rule, a decision Osasuna disputes and plans to appeal.
